About this listen

 In Ned Franks, or The Christians Panoply, we meet Ned Franks, a one-armed Christian sailor who returns home after years at sea, only to find his sister and her son cold and indifferent towards him. They see him as a burden, but through his unwavering kindness and hard work, Ned gradually wins over the community, especially the children. Alongside his journey, we encounter a diverse cast of characters who face their own trials, including a servant girl who learns to embrace honesty and a Jewish man grappling with the realization that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Each chapter beautifully illustrates a different fruit of the Spirit as outlined in Galatians 522-23, making this tale a heartwarming read for both children and adults alike. - Summary by Alayna MayCopyright Religious Texts and Commentary Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality
